Some time in the past, I obtained to interview a Romanian recreation developer by the identify of Cristian Gajda who’s engaged on some very formidable initiatives that I can’t assist cheer on. They’re at the moment engaged on a TTRPG based mostly on Getae mythology by the identify of Flagstone: Goals of God in addition to an Sandbox-Roguelike-RPG set in the identical universe by the identify of Flagstone: Goals of God.
The video games are nonetheless very a lot in growth however after speaking to Cristian Gajda, CEO of Gacriva Studio, I obtained to expertise the eagerness behind these initiatives first hand.
Flagstone: Goals of God is a TTRPG the place individuals derive their energy from their creativeness. The ability idea is fairly attention-grabbing with a singular spell-building mechanic that enables for lots of creativity and enjoyable. Equally, their Roguelike recreation set in the identical universe, Flagstone: Getae Legacy, is meant to supply near-infinite quantities of content material, a dwelling and ever-changing world, on prime of some moderately formidable however attention-grabbing parts.
Now, clearly, “close to infinite quantities of content material” sounds probably a bit triggering, particularly at the present time, attributable to the truth that Machine Studying algorithms and AI are threatening many alternative livelihoods, however I used to be positively stunned to see how Anti-AI Cristian Gajda was.
Their recreation does function machine studying BUT they use their very own knowledge units to coach their “AI”. As such, it’s moral within the sense that each one knowledge they use is their very own to make use of. Gacriva Studios’ artists all create their very own artwork, meshes, designs and objects. AI isn’t getting used for the artwork itself… simply parts of the sport which can be being generated, like questlines, dialogue and even the ever-changing world… and even then, it’s completely underneath the management of the builders with limitations, plenty of prompts and inputs, in addition to many alternative eventualities created by the builders which the AI takes “inspiration” from, principally.
Apart from that elephant within the room, we additionally talked in regards to the Getae, a bunch of individuals whose tales, legends and tales are a lot underrepresented in fashionable media. As an enormous mythology nerd, I used to be actually joyful to listen to about them not simply making a recreation impressed by Getae “lore” but in addition working with professionals to make sure accuracy.
